    With the marginalization of circle mode, I think you ought to eliminate .jpg as a supported file type. It simply leads to confusion when people can't figure out why their territories won't fill after saving as a .jpg. The artifacting and blurring associated with jpg compression makes getting your fills to work mega hard. PNG and GIF work much better, even if they tend to be larger files.

    Like your grandpa, but angrier.

    What about Circle maps for people that don't intend to Review them but only play with friends?

    PNG and GIF will still work for those people, though the image file sizes tend to be larger. I suppose the circle moders are also the folks just straight downloading an image from the webz with no regard for file size and whatnot.

    Whatever, I don't really care. I just thought it would be a way to make life easier for the ignorant.

    I actually agree with you, but just thought of that scenario when I was typing that I agree with you :P.

    I think it would be best to leave it there for Circle mode play to be honest...
